Driver in fatal crash had no license

A Chicago man driving on a revoked license killed himself and another person after running a red light on the South Side early Monday and colliding with several vehicles, authorities said.

Cleotho Woullard , 37, of the 8200 block of South Prairie Avenue, was driving south on Indiana Avenue when he failed to stop for a red light at 87th Street just after midnight Monday, police said.

Woullard's vehicle collided with two cars--one traveling east and the other traveling west on 87th Street, said police spokesman Carlos Hererra. Woullard's vehicle also struck a parked car along the street, he said.

Woullard was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, a Cook County medical examiner's spokesman said. A second victim, Joseph Wright, 48, of the 8500 block of South Carpenter Street, who was in one of the other vehicles, died at Jackson Park Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Three other people were seriously injured and were taken to Christ and Stroger Hospital, Hererra said.

Officials from the Illinois secretary of state's office said Monday that because Woullard had been arrested twice on DUI charges, he was not eligible to apply for a license until 2008.
